What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Plants perceive dynamic light conditions and optimize their growth and development accordingly by regulating gene expression at multiple levels. Alternative splicing (AS), a widespread mechanism in eukaryotes that post-transcriptionally generates two or more messenger RNAs (mRNAs) from the same pre-mRNA, is rapidly controlled by light. However, a detailed mechanism of light-regulated AS is still not clear. In this study, we demonstrate that histone 3 lysine 36 trimethylation (H3K36me3) rapidly and differentially responds to light at specific gene loci with light-regulated intron retention (IR) of their transcripts in the moss Physcomitrella patens. However, the level of H3K36me3 following exposure to light is inversely related to that of IR events. Physcomitrella patens MORF-related gene 1 (PpMRG1), a chromatin adaptor, bound with higher affinity to H3K36me3 in light conditions than in darkness and was differentially targeted to gene loci showing light-responsive IR. Transcriptome analysis indicated that PpMRG1 functions in the regulation of light-mediated AS. Furthermore, PpMRG1 was also involved in red light-mediated phototropic responses. Our results suggest that light regulates histone methylation, which leads to alterations of AS patterns. The chromatin adaptor PpMRG1 potentially participates in light-mediated AS, revealing that chromatin-coupled regulation of pre-mRNA splicing is an important aspect of the plant's response to environmental changes.
